There’s not any ominous background music. You should be able to add some in with iMovie…

No, you don’t jump; you use him for bait.

On the desert island: if you stick a hole in him and inflate him with his own gas you can probably make it to Hawaii or someplace nice. A floating gasbag can be a useful tool for rescue.

Nice job! I wouldn’t call it an “attack” ad, though. It’s a factual representation of the guy’s attitude.

+1 on OrangNeckInNY. That is definitely the morally superior action.

Effective is effective. You will be accused of bias either way.

Heh, I half expected you to say that you’d throw Joe Biden off the nearest cliff if you and he were stuck on a deserted island in the middle of nowhere.

You should show what the gun owner said to Biden, or people will accuse you of taking the comment out of context. If you leave them wondering what he said they’re probably gonna make up what they want to hear not what really was said.

That probably would have been a more effective attack ad, but I also thought I could accomplish being fair to Biden by not taking things out of context, and still giving him the opportunity to hang himself. He’s good at that.

Too slow paced. You could have chopped out the “one year ago” part after “oh really senator.”

I also think you should have cut out the bit about “self interest.” Instead you should have just shown the part where the gun owner asks, “are my guns safe” and follow up immediately with “I don’t think that man is mentally qualified to own guns.”

[...] Sebastian points out a bit of hypocrisy on the part of Senator Biden. [...]

Small nit, but it should be “Oh really, Senator?”

Other than that….awesome job!
